Kate Middleton's friend holds orgies in sharia hotel

The Duchess of Cambridge's friend has been staging sex parties in the country's first sharia hotel.

Emma Sayle, owner of Killing Kittens, a members-only sex-club, said the Bermondsey Square hotel in London is one of her preferred destinations for the self-styled ‘sexual elite’.

A friend of Kate Middleton's, Miss Sayle, 36, who attended Downe House boarding school with Prince Michael's daughter, Lady Gabriella Windsor, has used the four loft suites on the seventh floor of the hotel for her parties.

The £220-a-night hotel became the country's first sharia hotel last year, banning the sale of alcohol.

According to Miss Sayle, who is a member of Kate's rowing crew, The Sisterhood, the rules at Killing Kitten events state men can’t approach women at parties unless they know them, everyone wears a mask and single men aren't allowed.

She told Conference News: “A lot of our events are in high-end hotels such as The Wood Norton in Evesham and the Bermondsey Square hotel, London, among others."

A spokeswoman for the Bermondsey Square hotel said the sex parties took place in the four loft suites which meant there was no overlap with other guests.

She said: "Bermondsey Square Hotel has had a complete change of ownership in the last six months. The restaurant is undergoing refurbishment and the hotel remains a popular choice with business and leisure guests alike for its location and service. Over two years ago a number of rooms were booked by Killing Kittens on a couple of occasions. These were very discrete guests. We have not hosted events for a number of years and it is not something we will be looking to do in the future."

A spokeswoman for the Wood Norton hotel in Worcestershire, said: “I am aware of the company. We have held events organised by Killing Kittens in the past. They would have taken exclusive use. It’s not something we will be looking to do in the future. We have had a complete change of management in the last six months.”

Miss Sayle added: “They are private events for couples and girls so it’s definitely not about corporates organising a party for their staff.”

Her Killing Kittens brand also sells sexual aids and has organised “kidnap role play experiences” for £3,500.

In 2010 Miss Sayle was questioned by police after posting an update on her Facebook page saying: “Just had a two-hour shooting lesson. She will now be using this skill on the top of East London high rises to help with the UK's illegal immigrant problem.”
